To be Catholic is the only way of being fully and utterly Christian.
We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
I grew up in southeastern Oklahoma on a working cattle ranch, and it was always very romantic to me: The West, the cowboy, the Western way of life.
I think, so often, female cofounders are positioned in this competitive, catty way. It's just awful. It's not reality.
A few girls would be catty and say that my voice sounded really high, and I sang like a chipmunk, I got a few prank calls about that a few times. But it didn't really bother me that much. I think I was so focused on music that nothing could break me or get in my way.
There is an interesting interplay between power corrupting and corruption empowering. The causality does not go one way.
If you have caviar, the way to eat it is by the spoonful. Don't combine it with shrimp, pomegranate seeds and huitlacoche.
What we have to do... is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.
I've certainly had a number of failures along the way, depending on my own instincts and creativity, some fairly celebrated, at least during their time.
To be perfectly honest, I feel I have a duty to use my celebrity status in a positive way.
I was an unusually private person - in a way, kind of insufferably so. I think I thought the celebrity thing when it happened was a temporary phenomenon, and I was above it.
One of the great questions of philosophy is, do we innately have morality, or do we get it from celestial dictation? A study of the Ten Commandments is a very good way of getting into and resolving that issue.
I like to talk on the cell when I do interviews. That way, I double my chances of getting brain cancer: from the cell phone, and from the questions.
Stem cell research must be carried out in an ethical manner in a way that respects the sanctity of human life.
I got into cello in the fourth grade, and I played that for years. I adored playing it. I got an opera coach when I was 12 because I really wanted to learn how to sing properly. The only proper way to sing, I thought at that age, was opera.
When you vaccinate someone, or when you get infected, the microbe is presenting itself to the immune system in a way that the immune system recognizes the important elements of the microbe and makes an immune response, both an antibody response and a cellular response, to ultimately contain the microbe.
The biggest innovation of all is social networking, and cellular technology is the facilitator for social networking. People are mobile; social networking is people, and the only way people connect with each other is wirelessly.
My earliest memories are being in the lab, and the way the cement felt and the way it smelled, and the way the countertops looked and it just being this wonderful, warm, happy place where it was just full of toys.
I'm like Ann Coulter in a way. I talk in public and on the record the same way I talk to my friends in bars. I don't censor myself.
Web series are a way forward. It is a space where creative minds can express themselves without the fear of censor board.
